"The level of discourse on the issue of these unaccompanied children from Central America has been appalling," Rivera said on his radio show. "It has been disgusting. It is the worst kind of jingoistic rhetoric ever. And Matt Drudge with his massive website is doing his best to stir up a civil war. Shame on Matt Drudge."

Rivera read through stories Drudge had up on his massively popular website DrudgeReport.com, including whether the Ebola virus, currently a crisis in certain African countries, could "sneak across."

"Could Ebola sneak across? Ebola virus? This is exactly what they did to the Irish in the 19th century…and the Jews and the Italians in the 20th century. Not only do they bring crime they bring ideas! Be afraid – hide your daughters!" Rivera said. "And finally his headline right now: 'Border bill: Surrender to lawless president.' Ladies and gentlemen, we have to reject his hysterical jingoistic rhetoric, this inflamed hysteria, hyped by irresponsible political ideologues. This is not America, this is not New York reject this, this is horrifying."
